Highlights: Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties to win 2022 FA Cup

Seventh-tier Alvechurch will travel to League One side Cheltenham Town in the first round of the FA Cup next month.

The lowest ranked side left in the competition play in the Southern Premier Central division.

Bolton Wanderers will host Barnsley in an all-League One tie, while Sheffield Wednesday host Morecambe.

Speaking on BBC One, Alvechurch manager Ian Long said: "It's a tough tie against a League One side away from home."

"They had a player off us last season and they will certainly know quite a lot about us.

"We're excited. It's not a million miles away from here so hopefully the fans will follow us down to Cheltenham."

Coalville Town and Needham Market, who also both play in the Southern Premier Central, face trips to League One sides Charlton and Burton respectively.

First-round ties will be played between 4-7 November.
